Re: Help rebuilding ports list... How do I do a 'port provides' without port contents?

If they change, I won’t get the upgrades, forcing me to reinstall macports from scratch. But now at least I have a port/package list if that happens. I tried port “Macports” for those executables, but the port is very definite that ordinary mortals shouldn’t install it - it puts files outside the /opt/local tree - so I didn’t install it. Not sure what you're worried about? Those executables are part of MacPorts base. If you reinstall MacPorts to /opt/local (which happens during port selfupdate if a base update is available), they'll be overwritten. This is entirely fine. /opt/local/bin/llvm-ld-mp-3.1 /opt/local/bin/llvm-stub-mp-3.1 These look like they're from llvm-3.1. /opt/local/bin/daemondo /opt/local/bin/port /opt/local/bin/port-tclsh /opt/local/bin/portf /opt/local/bin/portindex /opt/local/bin/portmirror These are part of MacPorts base. /opt/local/bin/ppl-config /opt/local/bin/ppl_lcdd /opt/local/bin/ppl_lpsol /opt/local/bin/ppl_pips These are from ppl. vq ___ macports-users mailing list macports-users@lists.macosforge.org https://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo/macports-users

Re: Help rebuilding ports list... How do I do a 'port provides' without port contents?
Ryan, Thanks very much for those answers. I’ve installed what I could. I’ve got gcc 4.5 and llvm 3.3/3.6 installed. They don’t have those programs anymore. It wasn’t obvious from any of the doco that I read that ‘selfupdate’ contained the Macports program. I was wondering if there was a comprehensive place to look within macports. It seems in old versions there was a database like the Debian ‘Contents’ file, but now ‘port contents' is handled by the '.tar.bz2’ files used to deactivate/activate, so its not possible to easily recover if the contents files are lost. all the best steve On 9 Oct 2014, at 6:21 pm, Ryan Schmidt ryandes...@macports.org wrote: On Oct 9, 2014, at 12:18 AM, steve jenkin stevej098l...@gmail.com wrote: /opt/local/bin/addr2name.awk-mp-4.3 gcc43 /opt/local/bin/darwinbuild /opt/local/bin/darwinmaster /opt/local/bin/darwinup /opt/local/bin/darwinxref darwinbuild /opt/local/bin/llvm-ld-mp-3.1 /opt/local/bin/llvm-stub-mp-3.1 llvm-3.1 /opt/local/bin/pcl6 I do not know.

Yup, seems you're right. It wasn’t obvious from any of the doco that I read that ‘selfupdate’ contained the Macports program. selfupdate updates MacPorts base, and the ports tree. I was wondering if there was a comprehensive place to look within macports. It seems in old versions there was a database like the Debian ‘Contents’ file, but now ‘port contents' is handled by the '.tar.bz2’ files used to deactivate/activate, so its not possible to easily recover if the contents files are lost. There is no central database of port contents at this time. It might be added to the new MacPorts web site in the future. ___ macports-users mailing list macports-users@lists.macosforge.org https://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo/macports-users
